I was toying with JBoss, and writing a port - it makes sense to me to keep the add-ons in their own ports, since they're standalone apps and not part of JBoss as such. I'd expect it to be a lot easier to not clobber someones existing config using this approach, as well. But I never got enough sense out of the JBoss docs to see how it integrates other servers - partly because I don't do an awful lot of EJB development... > The other question is which jdk should I make these go against.

This is coming back to bsd.java.mk again, but I can confirm that JBoss starts up under jdk13 native quire happily (using latest patchset) - though as I said I haven't done much more than look at the management interface in a browser... -- Good news. Ten weeks from Friday will be a pretty good day.
